- Can you link? I couldn't find the post. -- nm - MDH Sep 20, 11:09 3

- Yep. Although I'd be boring, on camera, as I'm not so damn picky as 90% of the people they get -- nm - Flavorize Sep 20, 11:01
- No way. - The Ruiner Sep 20, 10:59

        until you got a crackhead addict tenant who made your life hell and it took you years to actually evict them -- nm - moles Sep 20, 11:09 2
        
        That's when you call Vito and Tony to come over and get rid of him. ;-) - Krusty Sep 20, 11:14 1
        
        no not me personally. -- nm - moles Sep 20, 11:18
      - not always lately. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 11:05 1
        
        well, that stinks - znufrii Sep 20, 11:06
    - I love "my first sale" lately. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 11:00
- No, I want to be on Yard Crashers. -- nm - mara Sep 20, 10:58
Disney has licensed the rights to "Avatar" in order to create a series of theme park attractions at Animal Kingdom. -- (link) - MDH Sep 20, 10:56 1
- Do we get to play aliens killing humans? Why does Disney hate earth? -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 20, 10:59
Do any STers know anyone who's undergone canalith repositioning to treat positional vertigo? -- (link) - mara Sep 20, 10:55 7
- I think I know three (it might be four) people who have. it worked on one. (at my mom's old office, half a dozen people had BPV.) -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 10:57 2
  - Wow. Thanks. -- nm - mara Sep 20, 11:01 1
    - it was very curious because it's supposed to be non-environmental and non-contagious (if I recall) and people in the office just - amanda jones Sep 20, 11:03
- RC has, I think. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 10:56 3
  - Was trying to remember the name. It's called the Epley maneuver and you can do it on your own. there are YT videos (can't link). -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 10:58 2
    - Yup, I've found the videos. -- nm - mara Sep 20, 11:01 1
      - RC swears by it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 11:02

- Sorry to have to rub this in, but... - OAE Sep 20, 11:14 3
  - congrats - I love the stock stories!! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 20, 11:17 1
    - ta! -- nm - OAE Sep 20, 11:37
  - how is that rubbing anything in? mop didn't say that he held the security long. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 11:15
- reed hastings has gone from hero to zero about as fast as any ceo i've ever seen....nm - x Sep 20, 10:54 13
  - I heard on some MP show this week that he's always been very noncharismatic, which has hurt him some in the past, but is killing him now. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 11:07 1
    - yeah. he's never really had to much be the public face of netflix, and it's clear he really isn't good at it....nm - x Sep 20, 11:10
  - I wonder what the discussion was that made them believe a new company with its own queue was a good idea. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:56 10
    - i think it's almost entirely about licensing. evolver has it right.... - x Sep 20, 11:00 3
      - and i also think it all makes some sense as a business proposition. but the way they have handled it has been an utter botch job... - x Sep 20, 11:04 2
        
        and ironically I'll be dropping my streaming this month because they don't offer enough stuff. yay qwuickster! or whatever the F it's called. -- nm - sycor Sep 20, 11:06 1
        
        I actually should drop as well until after the holidays. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 11:10
    - *and* whose idea the name was. consistent branding would have been nice. or even checking the internet to see how the name was used. - amanda jones Sep 20, 10:58 1
      - Whenever I hear Qwikster I think this: -- (link) - MDH Sep 20, 11:00 [Image]
    - They're spinning it off to sell it. They don't want the business any more. They're about as dim witted as HP. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 20, 10:57 2
      - As I said yesterday, they've definitely tied off the dvd by mail business in anticipation of its eventual closure. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:59 1
        
        Didn't he say (or a fomer Netflix head) about 3 years ago that physical discs had 5 years of viability left? -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 11:06
    - Not even a Netflix Classic or something..what the hell. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:56
- I actually had a press interview set up with them that they canceled last Friday. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:51 2
  - In other words, this is all your fault. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 10:54 1
    - David always runins things. that should be his new name The Real Ruiner -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 11:05
- Netflix news round-up #1: Netflix: Next Issue, Dish's Blockbuster Streaming Service -- (link) - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 20, 10:51

- ::throws arms up in frustration...:: -- nm - Netflix Sep 20, 10:49
College Football stat of the day: BCS Wins by Conference - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:45
TTIS - Shopping - I need a belt to go with my fancy new belt buckle. Something like this. - MojaveMeg Sep 20, 10:41 2
- when i did lapidary work, I'd get belts from a thirft shop and cut the old buckle off - zeitgeist Sep 20, 10:54 1
  - Maybe I'll check a couple of the local Goodwills. I have other buckles and like to be able to swap them out. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 20, 10:56
Glad to hear it, Pippy. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:39 1
- that is awful - I hope it all turns out okay for that entire family -- nm - Epiphany Sep 20, 10:52
It's worth noting that at this point in the 2008 race it was Giuliani 28.2, Thompson 22.9, McCain 15.2, and Romney 9.1 - Ender Sep 20, 10:39 6
- [deleted] 1
  - Agreed, in this comparison she's more comparable to Rudy or Thompson. -- nm - Ender Sep 20, 10:53
- Bachmentum! -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 10:41
- I'm shocked Thompson was actually #2 at any point. - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:41 1
  - He didn't declare till Sept 5, so 4 years ago he would have still been riding his post announcement bump. -- nm - Ender Sep 20, 10:46
- and everyone was writing Obama's candidacy against Hillary off as failing to gain any traction -- nm - moles Sep 20, 10:41
Pippa Middleton in a short skirt sitting in the front row (nsfw?)... -- (link) - Don Homer Sep 20, 10:39 7
- which sister is the ugly one in that family? -- nm - moles Sep 20, 11:03
- The Daily Mail has a whole series of photos. nothing to see. That's just reflected light, IMO. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 11:00 3
  - ha, the comments are great. "I'm assuming you've never seen an actual vagina�?" -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 11:07 2
    - Wait, her vagina reflects light? That's magical! -- nm - Chest Rockwell Sep 20, 11:08 1
      - her legs do. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 11:09
- I only have the first pic, but thought it was just her legs and some photoshop shading. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 10:42
- Really, I mean, who needs underwear, anyway? It's overrated. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 20, 10:41
Krusty, the only saving grace might be after the football schools leave, the Big East and Big 12 leftovers are likely to merge - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:38 32
- It hurts seeing long time rivalries being broken up. I know it's all about money and football but it sucks. - Krusty Sep 20, 10:45 5
  - Can't the rivals play regularly schedule non-conference games? - ty97 Sep 20, 10:46 1
    - Not the same when it's non-conference. -- nm - Krusty Sep 20, 10:49
  - There's already been talk about the ACC Tournament being held at MSG in a future year. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:46 2
    - Excuse me but... - Krusty Sep 20, 10:49 1
      - Preach. The F. On. - prayformojo Sep 20, 10:56
- Does anyone, anywhere believe any of these conference realignments would happen without the ridiculous money of college football? - musubi Sep 20, 10:41 16
  - Texas isn't making any moves until the contract money they have already secured is guaranteed to remain intact. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:43 10
    - The Pac12 commish has stated pretty firmly that they're not allowing in any team with it's own TV deal. Surprisingly, I believe him. - musubi Sep 20, 10:46
    - I'm rooting for the Pac 12 to hold firm and crack em. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:44 8
      - I think that's the right move for the Pac 12 but I suspect that Texas has more power than them and will ultimately win. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:53 2
        
        I think Oklahoma is the quiet king-maker here. If OU moves to the Pac (as it's widely speculated), Texas loses almost all its leverage. - musubi Sep 20, 10:57 1
        
        And it seems Baylor is the one think holding any dominoes from falling at this point. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 11:02
      - Texas could always go indie like ND and BYU -- nm - eag Sep 20, 10:49 1
        
        Notre Dame's actually making overtures toward the Big 12 (the real 1..2...12) and the ACC. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:51
      - I believe they'll relent eventually. Nebraska and Colorado bolting the Big12 undercut them big time. - musubi Sep 20, 10:49 1
        
        That's my gut feeling...Texas will eventually bow to the realities that going it alone probably isn't best. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:50
      - I'm shocked at just how much clout the PAC-12 is carrying right now. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 20, 10:45
  - Course not.... -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:41 4
    - And really, we can all blame ESPN for that Texas network. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:43 3
      - No doubt about it. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:53
      - We could also blame the remaining Big 12 schools for agreeing to their demands. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:45 1
        
        Thats because the Big12 comish basicly pleaded with all the school - eag Sep 20, 10:58
- And as far as football as concerned, I'd be shocked if they'd maintain their BCS automatic bid. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:40 2
  - I heard C-USA & the MWC are looking at merging to get one...so the Big East/12 will keep one. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:41 1
    - Of course, the BCS contract also ends in 2014. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:42
- I like what Jimmy Boeheim said last night about all this. - The Ruiner Sep 20, 10:39 5
  - Link? -- nm - Krusty Sep 20, 10:46 3
    - Heard about it on the radio. He was speaking at some dinner somewhere. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 10:57
    - Boeheim is actively trying to convince the ACC to grab UConn. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:55 1
      - I can see that happening. UConn isn't terrible in football and is always great in basketball. -- nm - Krusty Sep 20, 10:56
  - Yeah, and for schools like Baylor or Iowa State, they might not have a chair to grab....for Kansas, they'll get something - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:40
Jim wins! - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 20, 10:38
I reserve my right to choose my favorite moment until all moments are in. - con_carne no comprende English Sep 20, 10:36
"The Sox have not won two straight since sweeping a doubleheader from Oakland on Aug. 27. In other news, it's Sept. 20." - TFox Sep 20, 10:35 13
- As I said. Below .500 in this stretch run. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 10:40
- In related news, almost this exact same thing happened when I first started posting... - TFox Sep 20, 10:38 7
  - The Braves had a similar funk last September but that was injury related. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:41 6
    - So what do you think? Will they hold on or will the Cardinals catch 'em? - Jim Sep 20, 10:42 5
      - Honestly, Jim, I'm not giving it a lot of thought. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:50
      - Giants only 3.5 back! - musubi Sep 20, 10:44 3
        
        They have to beat the Dodgers this week for the next weekend series in Ariz to mean something - amoxy Sep 20, 10:48 2
        
        The Dodgers are Matt Kemp, Clayton Kershaw and a whole bunch of suck. - musubi Sep 20, 10:51 1
        
        If they can beat Kershaw (we have Timmy pitching against him) there is a good shot -- nm - amoxy Sep 20, 11:19
- with your bullpen, it will be very hard to get any streak going. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 20, 10:38 3
  - the bullpen? yes, Bard has been struggling, but I at least trust him, Paps, and Aceves. - TFox Sep 20, 10:41
  - Ain't the bullpen that's their problem....they have starting pitching that throws beneath the Orioles the last month. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:39 1
    - yes, but even when you get Lester on the mound, the pen gives it up. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 20, 10:39
